Does a simultaneous ventral/dorsal approach provide better reduction quality in treating acetabular fracture involving both columns with displaced posterior wall?

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Various surgical techniques have been proposed to manage acetabular fractures involving both columns with posterior wall displacement. However, the optimal surgical approach to achieve satisfactory reduction quality remains controversial.

Materials and methods

This retrospective study evaluated 34 patients with fractures who were treated at a single medical institution. The patients were divided into two groups according to the ventral/dorsal surgical approach employed: simultaneous (SI) and sequential (SE). Perioperative parameters, as well as radiological and functional outcomes, were analyzed and compared between the two groups.

Results

The SI and SE groups comprised 9 and 23 out of the 34 patients, respectively. The SI group exhibited a significantly
